Sunrise skiing in Trentino

Add an extra thrill to your winter holiday by skiing at dawn. In Trentino you can do it thanks to the Trentino Ski Sunrise programme.
It’s a view of the mountains few skiers ever see – with the first light of day colouring the snowy peaks, and the slopes hushed and empty. And it’s on offer in Trentino until early April, thanks to the Trentino Ski Sunrise programme, starting next 26 December until 16 March 2019.

In resorts across the region, skiers get exclusive early-morning access to key lifts, and ride to the top of some of our most famous and exciting runs. The first stop is always at a mountain hut, where they gorge themselves on a sweet and savoury breakfast of local delicacies and strong Italian coffee. Then, in the company of local ski instructors or alone, it’s time to attack the pistes, just as the first rays of sunshine are kissing the freshly-groomed snow. The combination of golden light, mountain scenery, and uncrowded slopes is intoxicating.

Trentino Ski Sunrise tours used to be limited to Saturdays, but they’re now so popular you can try them midweek as well. There’s no need to feel left out if you can’t ski, by the way. Bring a pair of snowshoes or hiking boots and, after breakfast, you can enjoy a guided walk through the majestic, snowy silence of an early morning.
